Dad, I will never forget the first time Tommy brought me down to meet you & mom. I was expecting you to look like the man in the family picture on the wall, but when I walked into the kitchen what did I see...but a shorter version of my Tommy!!! You are now home with your son and our Father, and no more pain and suffering. You will be missed by many, but never forgotten and always loved deeply by your family. And to Mom...you are in my prayers, and I hope you will find some comfort in knowing that Dad & Tommy will always be with you in spirit! Watching you & protecting you for always. Love You!

This is a name from out of my past!
I offer condolences to the family of your dear relative/ friend.
I wonder if Thomas' parents lived in Milwakee on Mitchel Street?

Condolences & blessings,
